Days Out Are For Dogs Too
Last Updated:

The Slow & Steady is a handy Abingdon Road pub for dog owners who want somewhere relaxed, local and easy to build into an Oxford wander. Dodo’s newest Oxford pub sits close to Folly Bridge and the city centre, with outdoor seating, craft beer and a dog-friendly setup that suits a post-walk pause.
Its location makes it especially useful after riverside stretches, while the pub itself has that casual, sociable feel Dodo venues do well. It works equally well for a quick drink, a fuller food stop or an unhurried evening. For a dog-friendly Oxford pub with an easy neighbourhood rhythm, it lands nicely.
Good to know:
Water bowls available
Treats available
Doggy Menu available
Dog Policy:
Dogs are welcome inside, so this Abingdon Road stop can stay a full-pack outing rather than a “one human dashes in while the dog writes a complaint outside” scenario. Expect relaxed Dodo pub energy, but keep the greetings friendly and the chip-stealing ambitions under control.
